Abstract
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced during the growth, storage, and transportation of crops contaminated by fungi and are physiologically toxic to humans and animals. Aflatoxin, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, ochratoxin, patulin, and fumonisin are the most common mycotoxins and can cause liver and nervous system damage, immune system suppression, and produce carcinogenic effects in humans and animals that have consumed contaminated food. Physical, chemical, and biological methods are generally used to detoxify mycotoxins. Although physical methods, such as heat treatment, irradiation, and adsorption, are fast and simple, they have associated problems including incomplete detoxification, limited applicability, and cause changes in food characteristics (e.g., nutritive value, organoleptic properties, and palatability). Chemical detoxification methods, such as ammonification, ozonation, and peroxidation, pollute the environment and produce food safety risks. In contrast, bioenzymatic methods are advantageous as they achieve selective detoxification and are environmentally friendly and reusable; thus, these methods are the most promising options for the detoxification of mycotoxins. This paper reviews recent research progress on common mycotoxins and the enzymatic principles and mechanisms for their detoxification, analyzes the toxicity of the degradation products and describes the challenges faced by researchers in carrying out enzymatic detoxification. In addition, the application of enzymatic detoxification in food and feed is discussed and future directions for the development of enzymatic detoxification methods are proposed for future in-depth study of enzymatic detoxification methods.

Abstract
Chromosome segregation is an essential cellular process that has the potential to yield numerous targets for drug development. This pathway is presently underutilized partially due to the difficulties in the development of robust reporter assays suitable for high throughput screening. In bacteria, chromosome segregation is mediated by two partially redundant systems, condensins and ParABS. Based on the synthetic lethality of the two systems, we developed an assay suitable for screening and then screened a library of fungal extracts for potential inhibitors of the ParABS pathway, as judged by their enhanced activity on condensin-deficient cells. We found such activity in extracts of Humicola sp. Fractionation of the extract led to the discovery of four new analogues of sterigmatocystin, one of which, 4-hydroxy-sterigmatocystin (4HS), displayed antibacterial activity. 4HS induced the phenotype typical for parAB mutants including defects in chromosome segregation and cell division. Specifically, bacteria exposed to 4HS produced anucleate cells and were impaired in the assembly of the FtsZ ring. Moreover, 4HS binds to purified ParB in a ParS-modulated manner and inhibits its ParS-dependent CTPase activity. The data describe a small molecule inhibitor of ParB and expand the known spectrum of activities of sterigmatocystin to include bacterial chromosome segregation.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds that pose a serious threat to animal health and food safety. Therefore, there is an urgent need for safe and efficient methods of detoxifying mycotoxins. As biotechnology has continued to develop, methods involving biological enzymes have shown great promise. Biological enzymatic methods, which can fundamentally destroy the structures of mycotoxins and produce degradation products whose toxicity is greatly reduced, are generally more specific, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Mycotoxin-degrading enzymes can thus facilitate the safe and effective detoxification of mycotoxins which gives them a huge advantage over other methods. This article summarizes the newly discovered degrading enzymes that can degrade four common mycotoxins (aflatoxins, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, and ochratoxin A) in the past five years, and reveals the degradation mechanism of degrading enzymes on four mycotoxins, as well as their positive effects on animal production. This review will provide a theoretical basis for the safe treatment of mycotoxins by using biological enzyme technology.

Recombinant Oxidase from Armillaria tabescens as a Potential Tool for Aflatoxin B1 Degradation in Contaminated Cereal Grain. Toxins (Basel) 2023; 15:678. [PMID: 38133182 PMCID: PMC10747862 DOI: 10.3390/toxins15120678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Forage grain contamination with aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a global problem, so its detoxification with the aim of providing feed safety and cost-efficiency is still a relevant issue. AFB1 degradation by microbial enzymes is considered to be a promising detoxification approach. In this study, we modified an previously developed Pichia pastoris GS115 expression system using a chimeric signal peptide to obtain a new recombinant producer of extracellular AFB1 oxidase (AFO) from Armillaria tabescens (the yield of 0.3 g/L), purified AFO, and selected optimal conditions for AFO-induced AFB1 removal from model solutions. After a 72 h exposure of the AFB1 solution to AFO at pH 6.0 and 30 °C, 80% of the AFB1 was degraded. Treatments with AFO also significantly reduced the AFB1 content in wheat and corn grain inoculated with Aspergillus flavus. In grain samples contaminated with several dozen micrograms of AFB1 per kg, a 48 h exposure to AFO resulted in at least double the reduction in grain contamination compared to the control, while the same treatment of more significantly (~mg/kg) AFB1-polluted samples reduced their contamination by ~40%. These findings prove the potential of the tested AFO for cereal grain decontamination and suggest that additional studies to stabilize AFO and improve its AFB1-degrading efficacy are required.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to estimate the effects of three recombinant peroxidases (rPODs) on the degradation of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in a model solution and were applied in milk and beer to study the AFM1 degradation. Besides, the contents of AFM1 in model solution, milk and beer were evaluated, and the kinetic parameters of rPODs were determined (Michaelis-Menten constant - Km and maximal velocity - Vmax). The optimized reaction conditions (The degradation was over 60 %) for these three rPODs in the model solution were, respectively as follows: pH were 9, 9, and 10; hydrogen peroxide concentrations were 60, 50, and 60 mmol/L; at an ionic strength of 75 mmol/L and reaction temperature of 30 °C with 1 mmol/L K+ or 1 mmol/L Na+. These three rPODs (1 U /mL) presented the maximum activity for degradation of AFM1 of 22.4 %, 25.6 %, and 24.3 % in milk, while 14.5 %, 16.9 %, and 18.2 % in beer, respectively. Meanwhile, the survival rate of Hep-G2 cells raised about 1.4 times after treated with peroxidase-generated AFM1 degradation products. Therefore, POD may be a promising alternative to reduce the pollution of AFM1 in model solution, milk, beer, and minimize their impact on the environment in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1 ) poses a severe threat to human and animal health. Countries worldwide have invested considerable manpower and material resources in degrading aflatoxins. Enzyme degradation is the most efficient and environmentally friendly approach for modifying aflatoxin into less toxic molecules. Catalase is commonly used as a detoxification agent to decrease the contamination levels of aflatoxins in animal feeds. This study aimed to obtain recombinant catalase via gene engineering and determined whether a recombinant catalase could degrade AFB1 . RESULTS The catalase gene (KatA) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the expression conditions of this recombinant catalase were optimized. The recombinant catalase was isolated and purified using Ni-chelating affinity chromatography, and its ability to degrade AFB1 was evaluated. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the expressed of catalase was approximately 55.6 kDa, which was subsequently purified using Ni-chelating affinity chromatography. The degradation rate of AFB1 by recombinant catalase in the presence of syringaldehyde was 38.79%. CONCLUSION The degradation of AFB1 by a recombinant catalase has been reported for the first time. This study provides a new paradigm for the use of recombinant catalases in degrading AFB1 in food and feed. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Mycotoxins, the most researched biological toxins, can contaminate food and feed, resulting in severe health implications for humans and animals. Physical, chemical, and biological techniques are used to mitigate mycotoxin contamination. The biotransformation method using whole microbial cells or isolated enzymes is the best choice to mitigate mycotoxins. Using specific enzymes may avoid the disadvantages of utilizing a full microbe, such as accidental harm to the product's organoleptic characteristics and hazardous safety features. Moreover, the degradation rates of the isolated enzymes are higher than those of the whole-cell reactions, and they are substrate-specific. Their specificity is comprehensive and is shown at the positional and/or chiral center in many circumstances. Currently, only a few enzymes of microbial origin are commercially available. Therefore, there is a need to identify more novel enzymes of microbial origin that can mitigate mycotoxins. In this review, we conducted an in-depth summary of the microbial enzymes involved in the biotransformation of mycotoxins.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contaminates rice during harvest or storage and causes a considerable risk to human and animal health. In this study, Trametes versicolor AFB1-degrading enzyme (TV-AFB1D) gene recombinantly expressed in engineered E. coli BL21 (DE3) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The TV-AFB1D enzymatic characteristics and AFB1 degradation efficiency in contaminated rice were investigated. Results showed that the size of recombinant TV-AFB1D expressing in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and S. cerevisiae was appropriately 77 KDa. The kinetic equation of TV-AFB1D was y = 0.01671x + 1.80756 (R 2 = 0.994, Km = 9.24 mM, and Vmax = 553.23 mM/min). The Kcat and Kcat/Km values of TV-AFB1D were 0.07392 (s-1) and 8 M-1 s-1, respectively. The AFB1 concentration of contaminated rice decreased from 100 μg/ml to 32.6 μg/ml after treatment at 32°C for 5 h under the catabolism of TV-AFB1D. S. cerevisiae engineered strains carrying aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1) and Cauliflower mosaic virus 35 S (CaMV 35 S) promoters caused the residual AFB1 contents, respectively, decreased to 3.4 and 2.9 μg/g from the initial AFB1 content of 7.4 μg/g after 24 h of fermentation using AFB1-contaminated rice as substrate. The AFB1 degradation rates of S. cerevisiae engineered strains carrying AOX1 and CaMV promoters were 54 and 61%, respectively. Engineered S. cerevisiae strains integrated with TV-AFB1D expression cassettes were developed to simultaneously degrade AFB1 and produce ethanol using AFB1-contaminated rice as substrate. Thus, TV-AFB1D has significant application potential in the AFB1 decomposition from contaminated agricultural products.

Abstract
Laccase, a multicopper oxidase, is well known for its industrial potentials to remove environmental pollutants due to its low substrate specificity to oxidize phenols and thus catalytic versatility. Many efforts focused on the metabolic mechanism, yet to decipher the structural determinants responsible for the differentiation between substrates. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a new substrate for laccase, is a mycotoxin with a formidable environmental threat to public health and food safety. In the present study, we combined biochemical, in silico mutational and molecular-docking data to gain an insight to the function of key residues in the active cavity close to the T1 copper site in a characterized recombinant laccase from Cerrena unicolor (rCuL). Kinetic data for computer-assisted virtual mutants established the binding affinity of hydrogen bonds and residues (Asn336, Asp207, Val391, and Thr165) in rCuL to AFB1. The augmented binding affinity to AFB1 may be related to the conformational rearrangements of the laccase and its ability to hydrogen-bond with the substrate. Furthermore, the optimal pH and temperature for rCuL and variants mediated AFB1 degradation may depend on their pH stability and thermostability. Our findings reinforce the importance of the structure-function relationship of fungal laccases in degrading AFB1, providing mechanistic guidance for future biocatalyst and bioengineering applications.

Abstract
Aflatoxins B1 (AFB1) is a hepatoxic compound produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, seriously threatening food safety and the health of humans and animals. Understanding the metabolism of AFB1 is important for developing detoxification and intervention strategies. In this review, we summarize the AFB1 metabolic fates in humans and animals and the key enzymes that metabolize AFB1, including cytochrome P450s (CYP450s) for AFB1 bioactivation, glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) and aflatoxin-aldehyde reductases (AFARs) in detoxification. Furthermore, AFB1 metabolism in microbes is also summarized. Microorganisms specifically and efficiently transform AFB1 into less or non-toxic products in an environmental-friendly approach which could be the most desirable detoxification strategy in the future. This review provides a wholistic insight into the metabolism and biotransformation of AFB1 in various organisms, which also benefits the development of protective strategies in humans and animals.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most harmful mycotoxin produced by filamentous fungi and presents a serious threat to human and animal health. Therefore, it is essential to protect humans and animals from AFB1-induced acute and chronic toxicity. In this study, Pseudomonas strain m29 having a high efficiency of AFB1 transformation was isolated from soil. The transformation ratio by m29 was more than 97% within 24 h, and the optimum temperature for transformation was 37°C. Moreover, the AFB1 transforming activity was mainly attributed to the cell-free supernatant of strain m29. The metabolite that plays a crucial role in AFB1 transformation is likely 1,2-dimethylhydrazine or 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, as identified by GC-MS and LC-MS analysis. AFB1 was transformed into a product with molecular formula C17H14O7. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of non-enzymatic AFB1 transformation by bacteria. Importantly, this AFB1 transformation mechanism could be universal to various microorganisms.

Abstract
Aflatoxins (AFs) are highly toxic and cancer-causing compounds, predominantly synthesized by the Aspergillus species. AFs biosynthesis is a lengthy process that requires as minimum as 30 genes grouped inside 75 kilobytes (kB) of gene clusters, which are regulated by specific transcription factors, including aflR, aflS, and some general transcription factors. This paper summarizes the status of research on characterizing structural and regulatory genes associated with AF production and their roles in aflatoxigenic fungi, particularly Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus, and enhances the current understanding of AFs that adversely affect humans and animals with a great emphasis on toxicity and preventive methods.

Abstract
Bacillus sp. H16v8 and Bacillus sp. HGD9229 were identified as Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) degrader in nutrient broth after a 12 h incubation at 37 °C. The degradation efficiency of the two-strain supernatant on 100 μg/L AFB1 was higher than the bacterial cells and cell lysate. Moreover, degradations of AFB1 were strongly affected by the metal ions in which Cu2+ stimulated the degradation and Zn2+ inhibited the degradation. The extracellular detoxifying enzymes produced by co-cultivation of two strains were isolated and purified by ultrafiltration. The molecular weight range of the detoxifying enzymes was 20-25 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The co-culture of two strains improved the total cell growth with the enhancement of the total protein content and detoxifying enzyme production. The degradation efficiency of the supernatant from mixed cultures increased by 87.7% and 55.3% compared to Bacillus sp. H16v8 and HGD9229, individually. Moreover, after the degradation of AFB1, the four products of the lower toxicity were identified by LC-Triple TOF-MS with the two proposed hypothetical degradation pathways.

Abstract
Aflatoxins (AFs) are toxic secondary metabolites produced mostly by Aspergillus species. AF contamination entering the feed and food chain has been a crucial long-term issue for veterinarians, medicals, agroindustry experts, and researchers working in this field. Although different (physical, chemical, and biological) technologies have been developed, tested, and employed to mitigate the detrimental effects of mycotoxins, including AFs, universal methods are still not available to reduce AF levels in feed and food in the last decades. Possible biological control by bacteria, yeasts, and fungi, their excretes, the role of the ruminal degradation, pre-harvest biocontrol by competitive exclusion or biofungicides, and post-harvest technologies and practices based on biological agents currently used to alleviate the toxic effects of AFs are collected in this review. Pre-harvest biocontrol technologies can give us the greatest opportunity to reduce AF production on the spot. Together with post-harvest applications of bacteria or fungal cultures, these technologies can help us strictly reduce AF contamination without synthetic chemicals.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination causes significant economic loss to food and feed industries and seriously threatens human health. Aflatoxins (AFs) are one of the most harmful mycotoxins, which are produced by Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, and other fungi that are commonly found in the production and preservation of grain and feed. AFs can cause harm to animal and human health due to their toxic (carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic) effects. How to remove AF has become a major problem: biological methods cause no contamination, have high specificity, and work at high temperature, affording environmental protection. In the present research, microorganisms with detoxification effects researched in recent years are reviewed, the detoxification mechanism of microbes on AFs, the safety of degrading enzymes and reaction products formed in the degradation process, and the application of microorganisms as detoxification strategies for AFs were investigated. One of the main aims of the work is to provide a reliable reference strategy for biological detoxification of AFs.

Abstract
Aflatoxins are toxic secondary metabolites mainly produced by Aspergillus fungi, posing high carcinogenic potency in humans and animals. Dietary exposure to aflatoxins is a global problem in both developed and developing countries especially where there is poor regulation of their levels in food and feed. Thus, academics have been striving over the decades to develop effective strategies for degrading aflatoxins in food and feed. These strategies are technologically diverse and based on physical, chemical, or biological principles. This review summarizes the recent progress on novel aflatoxin degradation strategies including irradiation, cold plasma, ozone, electrolyzed oxidizing water, organic acids, natural plant extracts, microorganisms and enzymes. A clear understanding of the detoxification efficiency, mechanism of action, degradation products, application potential and current limitations of these methods is presented. In addition, the development and future perspective of nanozymes in aflatoxins degradation are introduced.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most common contaminants of poultry feed and has been linked to adverse effects on animal health and productivity. In this study, the degradation of AFB1 was studied with cell-free extracts (CFE) of Trametes versicolor and Bacillus subtilis using High-Performance Liquid chromatography (HPLC). CFE from B. subtilis and T. versicolor gave 60% and 34% of AFB1 degradation respectively, while heat-inactivated extracts showed no degradation. By-products obtained at the end of AFB1 degradation were analyzed by Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). After 96 h of incubation, by-products with lower m/z values were obtained with CFE from B. subtilis as compared to that from T. versicolor, indicating a higher degradation efficiency of the former. Additionally, the detection of a by-product which could correspond to AFB1-8,9 dihydrodiol - a less toxic derivative of AFB1 - after 72 and 96 h of incubation with CFE from B. subtilis, could indicate the simultaneous detoxification along with degradation of AFB1 by B. subtilis CFE.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the best aflatoxin B1 degradation conditions which was optimized using a combination of the Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken methods with Panus neostrigosus culture filtrate. Panus neostrigosus was grown in a modified Kirk Broth medium to determine optimal degradation conditions. As a result, aflatoxin B1 was degraded under varying culture conditions. The Plackett-Burman method was designed after sixteen different experiments with fifteen variables. The three most effective variables (Sucrose, yeast extract, wheat bran) were chosen for the Box-Behnken methodology. The aflatoxin B1 degradation rate was 49% in just 1 h exposure to culture filtrate which was obtained under optimal growth conditions; (g-ml/L) sucrose 10, yeast extract 3, wheat bran 3, soytone 5, KH2PO4 2, MgSO4.7H2O 0.5, CaCl2.H2O 0.1, ammonium tartrate 2, trace element solution 10; 28 °C of incubation temperature, medium pH 5, 7.5% inoculum rate, 125 rpm of agitation speed, and a twelve-day incubation period. The SDS-PAGE studies show that the enzyme responsible for AFB1 degradation has 38 kDa molecular weight and has no laccase or MnP activity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report for AFB1 degradation by Panus neostrigosus.

Toxins (Basel) 2020; 12:toxins12080476. [PMID: 32727016 PMCID: PMC7472184 DOI: 10.3390/toxins12080476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2020] [Revised: 07/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a known toxic human carcinogen and can be detoxified by laccases, which are multicopper oxidases that convert several environmental pollutants and toxins. In this study, a new laccase that could catalyze AFB1 degradation was purified and identified from the white-rot fungus Cerrena unicolor 6884. The laccase was purified using (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and anion exchange chromatography, and then identified as Lac 2 through zymogram and UHPLC-MS/MS based on the Illumina transcriptome analysis of C. unicolor 6884. Six putative laccase protein sequences were obtained via functional annotation. The lac 2 cDNA encoding a full-length protein of 512 amino acids was cloned and sequenced to expand the fungus laccase gene library for AFB1 detoxification. AFB1 degradation by Lac 2 was conducted in vitro at pH 7.0 and 45 °C for 24 h. The half-life of AFB1 degradation catalyzed by Lac 2 was 5.16 h. Acetosyringone (AS), Syrinagaldehyde (SA) and [2,2' -azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] (ABTS) at 1 mM concentration seemed to be similar mediators for strongly enhancing AFB1 degradation by Lac 2. The product of AFB1 degradation catalyzed by Lac 2 was traced and identified to be Aflatoxin Q1 (AFQ1) based on mass spectrometry data. These findings are promising for a possible application of Lac 2 as a new aflatoxin oxidase in degrading AFB1 present in food and feeds.

Food Chem 2020; 325:126877.

Abstract
In the present study, the CotA protein from Bacillus licheniformis ANSB821 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Apart from the laccase activities, we found that the recombinant CotA could effectively oxidize aflatoxin B1 in the absence of redox mediators. The Km, Kcat and Vmax values of the recombinant CotA towards aflatoxin B1 were 60.62 μM, 0.03 s-1 and 10.08 μg min-1 mg-1, respectively. CotA-mediated aflatoxin B1 degradation products were purified and identified to be aflatoxin Q1 and epi-aflatoxin Q1. The treatment of human liver cells L-02 with aflatoxin Q1 and epi-aflatoxin Q1 did not suppress cell viability and induce apoptosis. Molecular docking simulation revealed that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interaction played an important role in aflatoxin B1-CotA stability. These findings in the current study are promising for a possible application of CotA as a novel aflatoxin oxidase in degrading AFB1 in food.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are highly dangerous natural compounds produced by various fungi. Enzymatic transformation seems to be the most promising method for detoxification of mycotoxins. This review summarizes current information on enzymes of different classes to convert various mycotoxins. An in-depth analysis of 11 key enzyme mechanisms towards dozens of major mycotoxins was realized. Additionally, molecular docking of mycotoxins to enzymes' active centers was carried out to clarify some of these catalytic mechanisms. Analyzing protein homologues from various organisms (plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria), the prevalence and availability of natural sources of active biocatalysts with a high practical potential is discussed. The importance of multifunctional enzyme combinations for detoxification of mycotoxins is posed.

Abstract
Maize is a staple crop in rural subsistence regions of southern Africa, is mainly produced for direct household consumption and is often contaminated with high levels of mycotoxins. Chronic exposure to mycotoxins is a risk factor for human diseases as it is implicated in the development of cancer, neural tube defects as well as stunting in children. Although authorities may set maximum levels, these regulations are not effective in subsistence farming communities. As maize is consumed in large quantities, exposure to mycotoxins will surpass safe levels even where the contamination levels are below the regulated maximum levels. It is clear that the lowering of exposure in these communities requires an integrated approach. Detailed understanding of agricultural practices, mycotoxin occurrence, climate change/weather patterns, human exposure and risk are warranted to guide adequate intervention programmes. Risk communication and creating awareness in affected communities are also critical. A range of biologically based products for control of mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxins in maize have been developed and commercialised. Application of these methods is limited due to a lack of infrastructure and resources. Other challenges regarding integration and sustainability of technological and community-based mycotoxin reduction strategies include (i) food security, and (ii) the traditional use of mouldy maize.

Tomin M, Tomić S. Oxidase or peptidase? A computational insight into a putative aflatoxin oxidase from Armillariella tabescens. Proteins 2019; 87:390-400.

Abstract
Aflatoxin oxidase (AFO), an enzyme isolated from Armillariella tabescens, has been reported to degrade aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). However, recent studies reported sequence and structure similarities with the dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III) family of enzymes and confirmed peptidase activity toward DPP III substrates. In light of these investigations, an extensive computational study was performed in order to improve understanding of the AFO functions. Steered MD simulations revealed long-range domain motions described as protein opening, characteristic for DPPs III and necessary for substrate binding. Newly identified open and partially open forms of the enzyme closely resemble those of the human DPP III orthologue. Docking of a synthetic DPP III substrate Arg2 -2-naphthylamide revealed a binding mode similar to the one found in crystal structures of human DPP III complexes with peptides with the S1 and S2 subsites' amino acid residues conserved. On the other hand, no energetically favorable AFB1 binding mode was detected, suggesting that aflatoxins are not good substrates of AFO. High plasticity of the zinc ion coordination sphere within the active site, consistent with that of up to date studied DPPs III, was observed as well. A detailed electrostatic analysis of the active site revealed a predominance of negatively charged regions, unsuitable for the binding of the neutral AFB1. The present study is in line with the most recent experimental study on this enzyme, both suggesting that AFO is a typical member of the DPP III family.

Abstract
This study explores aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) degradation by salt tolerant Tetragenococcus halophilus CGMCC 3792 (T. halophilus CGMCC 3792). Six non-toxic degradation products of AFB1 were identified by liquid chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/TOF-MS), including m/z 243.06 (C14H10O4), 361.09 (C18H16O8), 229.09 (C14H12O3), 277.14 (C16H20O4), 217.12 (C14H16O2), 221.15 (C14H20O2). Two pathways were proposed based on molecular formulas and MS/MS spectra, and the final degradation product was m/z 221.15 (C14H20O2). The degradation ratio of active cell component (66%) and intracellular component (57%) was significantly higher than extracellular component (14%). AFB1 degradation ratio of intracellular component, initially at around 60%, was decreased to 32% after proteinase K treatment, and to 7% after heating, to 9% after proteinase K plus SDS treatment, and to 16% after TFA treatment. It suggests that the AFB1 removal mainly resulted from enzyme biodegradation. The degradation ratio was 92% in AFB1 polluted soy sauce mash. The high degradation ratio of AFB1 by T. halophilus CGMCC 3792 indicates its great potential for application in oriental fermentation condiment process.

Abstract
Aflatoxin (AF) contamination presents one of the most insidious challenges to combat, in food safety. Its adulteration of agricultural commodities presents an important safety concern as evident in the incidences of its health implication and economic losses reported widely. Due to the overarching challenges presented by the contamination of AFs in foods and feeds, there is an urgent need to evolve cost-effective and competent strategies to combat this menace. In our review, we tried to appraise the cost-effective methods for decontamination of AFs. We identified the missing links in adopting microbial degradation as a palliative to decontamination of AFs and its commercialization in food and feed industries. Cogent areas of further research were also highlighted in the review paper.

Abstract
Aflatoxin-oxidase (AFO), a newly discovered oxidase isolated from Armillariella tabescens, was reported to perform aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detoxification through breaking the bisfuran ring of AFB1. However, based on sequence alignment, we found that AFO shares high sequence identities with dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III) family members. To understand the functions of AFO, we determined its crystal structures in the absence and presence of zinc, copper ion, and employed HPLC to test if AFO could cleave the substrates of DPP III. Our structures reveal that AFO contains the classic DPP III activity center and the HPLC results further confirm that AFO possesses the dipeptidyl peptidase activity. Therefore, AFO should belong to DPP III family. Interestingly, unlike reported classic DPP III structure that has a large domain movement upon substrate binding, the AFO structures all adopt the closed conformation, independent of substrate binding. This conformation characteristic of AFO may be related to its enzyme activities. Taken together, our results demonstrate that AFO is a dual activity enzyme with both aflatoxin-oxidase and dipeptidyl peptidase activities and its unique conformation feature expands our understanding on the mode of reaction for this enzyme family.

Abstract
Worldwide mycotoxins contamination has a significant impact on animal and human health, and leads to economic losses accounted for billions of dollars annually. Since the application of pre- and post- harvest strategies, including chemical or physical removal, are not sufficiently effective, biological transformation is considered the most promising yet challenging approach to reduce mycotoxins accumulation. Although several microorganisms were reported to degrade mycotoxins, only a few enzymes have been identified, purified and characterized for this activity. This review focuses on the biotransformation of mycotoxins performed with purified enzymes isolated from bacteria, fungi and plants, whose activity was validated in in vitro and in vivo assays, including patented ones and commercial preparations. Furthermore, we will present some applications for detoxifying enzymes in food, feed, biogas and biofuel industries, describing their limitation and potentialities.
